Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Using your space to admit I might've flew off the handle.

I still feel like he could've handled that better. That's just how I feel man. And since he started it yes I'm blaming him. He was 60, so he should've known how to control that better instead of getting mad at a simple tiny mistake.

What makes me laugh the most in this thread is that it's somehow always someone else's fault

There are a lot of stories where people tell their own fails, too

Had probably the worst Weeping City with Selli today. We had some new people, one being in our Alliance, no big deal. No one is being overly patient, so they're only getting a really rough explanation of things. There's a lot of deaths on Forgall, but we didn't wipe. For some reason there's a fight between our Alliance and C. Wasn't really paying attention, to be honest.

Before Ozma, Selli asks if they can calm down long enough to explain mechanics, but they're still kind of going at it. So the party just focuses on explaining to our newbie. For all of Ozma the tank from C is complaining that everyone is attacking him just 'cause he's explaining mechanics and trying to help. No one is talking to this guy and he. won't. stop. complaining.

When we get to Calo, 2/3 of the raid was sick of him. Our tank is actively trying to kill off C (I think? Seemed like it anyway) and killing off 95% of the raid while doing it. Basically all of C is complaining until Calo dies, the tank then proceeds to hold up the minion/card loot to complain even more.

Selli tries to explain that doing nothing but fighting was hardly helping anyone, especially the new people because it was hard to follow any help they were giving with all the fighting and that they should have just dropped it. C calls her stupid and say she doesn't understand basic reading comprehension if she couldn't keep up. What a run. I just gtfo'd after that, no loot was worth putting up with those people for an extra 5 minutes.

I still don't even know what they were arguing about.

@Frowny
for me the situation is easy. Yes i do admit that probably i shouldnt put a dot and just wait for the tank to put in position. I felt confident because i trusted him being overlevelled to hand agro from 1 dot.
Now if he said something like "hey dps please dont dps it until i position the head first. I would completely understand and even apologise for the dot i had done initialy.
Instead he does a "keyboard Warrior behaviour" and throws a passíve/agressive comment. Most probably because he was sorrounded by his buddies.
As anyone with blood on their veins i responded back, not insulting anyone and making the point that he could have actually have done better also.

Next thing Kick from a dungeon.

If you really agree and aplaude this behaviour (kicking a player our of a dungeon) then i guess there is really nothing more for me to say. We see gaming in completely different ways.

Got MCH/BRD/WAR/AST weapons from Sophia. The only weapon left that I really want is SCH.
I jump into Raid Finder as AST, my co-healer is also AST. We aced it. Super fast kill with card buffs not falling.

Chest drops SCH book. Everyone exit duty expet me and the other AST.
We both greed. I rolled 91 and got the book on my first run that day (was going to collect 10 totems).
Logged out and went to burger king nearby to celebrate.

I get alot of partymates who want speedruns, never say so for some reason, and pull extra mobs despite me stopping a pull about a mile back. They say sorry but then they continue to do it over and over. Then when we wipe because they pull more than i can manage, who do they blame? Mmmmeeee, the tank of course... And the ones who say "pull more"... i mean i dont listen to this request anyway because i tell them "I only pull what i feel like i can handle." But of course they pull more... I mean chrihhhisssst mates, its not like im pulling trash packs one at a time.... It wont kill you to take 20 extra seconds to finish this dungeon.

When a WHM can out DPS a Monk by over 650 points in Xelphatol...and this wasn't the monk's first run.

Last boss summoned Garuda 4 times. Usually She is summoned only twice.

But yeah, the White Mage out DPSed the Monk.

We weren't even mad. We were just impressed.

Joined a mentor roulette yesterday that turned out to be a 22-min in progress Dzemael. They were just past the first boss. I wondered what the hell had made their healer drop.

The group had made it past some of the froggy mobs on the next floor, but there were still a few left. So I join them, protect, stoneskin the tank...and he runs foreward, JUMPS OFF A LEDGE, attacks the last froggy mob... I spend a few seconds thinking whether I want to jump down after the idiot and reluctantly I do. Five things aggro on me. He gets two. I get smacked repeatedly in the face til I die, then he dies, then one of the dps dies. The smart dps who didn't jump down with us goes back to the start of the floor and waits for us to return.

Everything goes relatively okay after that. The DRK does unexpectedly large pulls a couple of times, but I kept everyone up just fine. I wonder what took them 22 min to get to the first few pulls after that first boss and I'm willing to bet it was multiple wipes.

the beginning of the second stage of Dzemael can be a healer's worse nightmare. Especially if you have tanks not being careful or a dps backed up to closely to another set of mobs.

Some are inpatient and wanna jump in the craziness. However, I found a careful tank is always the best tank...even if the run took 4 minutes longer....because you sure know we wont be wiping to trash pulls
